I reopened [Bug 264228] nspluginwrapper + java plugin problems [Bug 288750] Home bank issues with java+firefox on x86_64 to get a final decision. I know it's really late, but a 64bit system without a working firefox/java combination is a blocker in my eyes.
And I disagree. If we don't make it obvious that Sun's "x86_64 is for servers only, no-one needs firefox there" is wrong, there is no chance either Sun changes that or the open source java catches up. You're free to put your money behind either side, but we took side - on the OSS side of life (with a hopefully easy way for our users to go with a NON-OSS alternative if present on that architecture).
Hmm, I agree that Sun is the culprit, but I think it will fall back to openSUSE. At least we need a simple to follow guide how to get a working firefox with java (including a complaint to Sun).
Easing the update path in adding conflicts is very fine with me though. This should be reported though.
